If you’re not getting expected True Airspeeds, you might consider rigging the flight controls and the flaps. That can have a huge impact on performance.

Dean Siracusa replied to the topic Autopilot in the forum Avionics – Meyers 200 6 years ago
Hi Mark,
The only “modern” STC’d autopilot available for the Meyers 200 is the Century 2000. It’s not cheap and can be finicky at times.If you can hold out for a while, TruTrak should have an option for us. Likely available next year. It’s a true digital autopilot with all kinds of modern features. And, at only $5,000 it’s an amazing…[Read more]

We also need a vacu-form in order to make a compound curve that the light covers have. Or, the other option is to make a clay mold of the original and then use it as a form in the oven.

Dean Siracusa replied to the topic Hydraulic aileron trim in the forum Airframe – Meyers 200 6 years, 1 month ago
Definitely check the rigging of the ailerons as well as the flaps. And, the flaps have a unique bushing on them that are asymmetrical. If one of them is replaced with an incorrect bushing, it may be a cause of your issue.
Also, since you have a D model 200, check the spring for the aileron trim which is under the front seat. Either remove the…[Read more]

Dean Siracusa replied to the topic Hydraulic aileron trim in the forum Airframe – Meyers 200 6 years, 1 month ago
Actually, that’s not correct. The aileron and elevator trims continue to function even with an autopilot installed and activated.
With the aileron trim, it’s force is very mild so it’s not an issue for the autopilot to override it. All it’s doing is adding additional pressure to the entire system to keep the wings level. And since it’s just a…[Read more]

Are you talking about the plastic covers that are attached to the nose bowl itself? It’s just plexiglass. Some owners have purchased stock plexiglass at the hardware store and melted it on a stainless steel bowl in the oven.

Hi Dan,
The Aero-Commander built D model has a different aileron trim system than the earlier Meyers built planes. Meyers versions are indeed hydraulic while the Commander built versions use a spring system which is underneath the front seats.The Commander version isn’t very effective and I know of several owners that just never bothered…[Read more]

I don’t know if S-Tec is certifying their 3100 autopilot in the same way that TruTrak and the other, newer autopilot companies are doing. If they are, I haven’t heard about it.

Hi Brian,
There are several Meyers 200s in Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. Email me privately and I’ll be happy to make introductions. None of these planes are for sale but their owners don’t need much of an excuse to go fly.Not only is the Meyers faster than anything else out there in its class, it’s also far safer and more fun…[Read more]

Fellow Meyers OTW owner, Steve Freeman had a new trunnion bearing for the tailwheel created by a local machine shop. They used original drawings and converted it to a digital file so that a digital CNC machine could make them. He had 5 of them made at the same time so if anyone needs one, please contact him. He’ll happily sell one to you at cost.

You and Jamon Pruitt should definitely talk. He’s got the same schematics but hasn’t installed them yet. Did you make the switch?

You might contact Jamon Pruitt. He also owns a Meyers 145, N34375. I’ll bet he’ll have an answer for you. Additionally, http://knisleyexhaust.com/ should be able to repair your exhaust system.

There’s a Meyers 200 owner in Red Hook, NY. Is that close enough?
